"Every day I talk to Bibi about the war. I want him to focus on the war and not on the f*cking court case. I want the only pressure on Bibi to be the fighting against Iran. Tell him I am exposing him. That president better damn well give him the pardon right now and stop using it as leverage for his own political career."
"Netanyahu previously requested a presidential pardon in his corruption cases. He's charged with fraud, breach of trust, and accepting bribes in three different cases. He's accused of exchanging political favors for gifts from billionaires, as well as engaging in quid-pro-quos for favorable news coverage."
President Trump publicly called for Israeli President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating he wants Netanyahu focused entirely on the military conflict with Iran rather than dealing with his corruption trial. Trump claimed Herzog promised to pardon Netanyahu five times over the past year, which an Israeli official denied. Netanyahu faces charges of fraud, breach of trust, and accepting bribes across three cases, accused of exchanging political favors for gifts and engaging in quid-pro-quos for favorable media coverage. Trump has previously defended Netanyahu against these charges and expressed frustration that the legal proceedings distract from military priorities.
